Duluth Grill
@thetravelingballerina
Every time I come for brunch, I can't leave without one of their gooey cardamom cinnamon rolls. Be careful on the weekends, line for this place can get pretty long, but I still think the hype is justified.
Local Tip: order the mimosa flight to try while you're waiting outside

Sir Benedicts Tavern on the Lake
@thetravelingballerina
Fantastic sandwiches and a homey atmosphere with a welcoming staff. My favorite is "The Bruce" but anything that catches your eye is sure to be good.

At Sara's Table Chester Creek Cafe
@thetravelingballerina
Vegetarian and vegan friendly, this spot excels at high quality ingredients sourced locally. Their focus on supporting small, family-owned farms wins them plenty of points to begin with, and they continue to impress from brunch to dinner.

The Rathskeller
@thetravelingballerina
The Rathskeller is the spot to be for speakeasy vibes and well-made cocktails. Their seasonal menu is usually a smash, and be sure to keep an eye out for their featured drink of the night!

Vikre Distillery
@thetravelingballerina
I love a tasting flight, and Vikre has too many good options to choose from. I love the gin, but I'd be remiss not to give a special shoutout to their Aquavit, a Scandinavian distilled spirit.
